Roy Martin:
Thank you George for your time and provided scriptures. Thanks to all of you. Everyone has provided me much to chew on for a much better understanding.
Peace

Ricky:
Hi Roy, understanding what the unforgivable sin is, and who commits it, has been made very clear here. I would still have a question though, If ALL, will be saved in the end, how can this sin be unforgivable? it sounds like the people that commit this sin will be forgiven in the end, somehow this does not fit right. ???
Bless you all. Ricky
Roy Martin:
Hi Ricky.
I wish I could answer your question. I have read the answer somewhere it seems like several times, but its for sure that someone here can and will help you with this.
Peace
Roy

Mat 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Mat 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Though this sounds like a very long time, but it is of limited duration. We know that there will be no 'eternal' punishment as there was no word for eternal in the Scriptures. Here is a short excerpt from the letter to Hegee 'The Seven Wonders Of Hell.'
http://bible-truths.com/hagee1.htm -----------
There is not one word in either the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures that can be properly translated "forever" or "eternity," or any other word meaning "endless" time. Some might suggest that a verse such as Rom. 16:26-- " ... the everlasting [Greek: 'aionian'] God" proves that aionian is eternal. It does not. Paul isn't trying to tell us here that God lives "for ever." The Scriptures have long ago told us that God's life has no end (Psalm 102:27). Paul is telling us that God is not off in a corner somewhere unconcerned with mankind, but that He is " ... the eonian God." That is, He is God of the eons in which we live (Rev. 15:8). This does not say God ceases to exist at the end of the eons any more than Christ ceases to exist after He is no longer "King of the eons (Rev. 5:3)."
When there are no more eons, Christ ceases to be the King of the eons (I Cor. 15:24). He certainly doesn't cease to exist. When the eons end (and they all will), then God will be the same God He has always been. It's just that there will be no more eons or ages.
-----------------------------------------------
Eternal was never spoken of, but here are the words "no end" found a couple of times.
Luke 1:33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever (for the ages/eons), and of His kingdom there will be no end."
Psa 102:27 But You are the same,
And Your years will have no end.
mercy, peace and love

Ricky,
This sin is said to be unforgiven in this age & the next [Matt 12:32], not forever. This sin is only unforgiven because those that commit such will not repent in this age, God is not calling them.
When God opens our understanding, we repent...it is only God's goodness that leads to our repentance [Rom 2:4].
